History

Consulate-General of Argentina located on Pablo Bermúdez No. 143, Lima

Both countries established relations in 1822, with both countries having come into existence as a result of Argentine-born José de San Martín's campaigns in the River Plate and Lower Peru during the Spanish American wars of independence. The first Argentine representative to Peru was Estanislao Lynch.[2] Relations have continued since, having been warm for the most part, with the exception of a scandal during the Cenepa War in 1995.[3]

The embassy's traditional palace was built on land donated in 1921 by the government of Peru on the occasion of the Centennial of the Independence of Peru, located next to the Moorish Arch in the neighbourhood of Santa Beatriz.[4] In response, the Argentine government donated the premises currently occupied by the Embassy of Peru in Buenos Aires, the work of the Argentine architect Alejandro Bustillo.[5]

The Palace was designed in a neo-colonial style by the Argentine architect Martín Noel [es] in 1929 and built by the Construction Engineer Gonzalo Panizo, being inaugurated in 1938 by the then Minister of Foreign Affairs of Peru, Carlos Concha [es], and the then Argentine Ambassador, Ricardo Colombres Mármol. From its inauguration and until 2012, it housed both the embassy and the ambassador's residence until the former moved to San Isidro.[5]

Due to its architectural and historical value, in October 2019 the building at Av. Arequipa 121 was declared an "Integrated Monument of the Cultural Heritage of the Nation" by the Ministry of Culture of Peru.[5]
